Ok, Dave
Here goes
Engine has 150 hours on it since I rebuilt and ported it
I usually cruise around 5200 rpm (2.17 gear box) or 5600 rpm (2.85 gearbox)
this generally gives me a TAS of 170 MPH at 7.5 GPH
I get 6000 rpm static and have hit as high as 6800 rpm in flight (2.85). I
estimate the engine power at around 180 HP based on fuel burn and aircraft
performance. I compare my Rv-6A to the performance of a 180 HP Rv-6A also
with a fixed pitch prop, I easy surpass his ROC and appear to be a couple of
miles per hour faster.
Premix 1 oz per gallon of fuel.
Didn't measure the parts as they were new when installed.
Don't know what you want measured - give me some suggestions. There are over
a dozen different measurements that could be taken but without the starting
reference point they won't mean very much.
Best Regards
Ed

Ed..
I know that getting your baby BACK in the air will take priority...
but can you enlighten us on some of your stats regarding this engine
that went south on you..
Total time in service in airframe (hrs)
Your usual power setting and cruise speed, prop
Any other visual or measured wear parameters you noted on the teardown.
Premix or separate oil reservoir... and your mix ratio if you mix.
IF you have your original measurements from the rebuild, any measurable
wear since then..
What I am wanting to do is use this as a data point on expected
wear/reliability of the core engine/internals. Since the engine has to
be disassembled ANYWAYS, this is a perfect opportunity to see what/how
the rest of the engine looks like/measures up. At the same time,
throwing the expected performance in the pre-event engine to get an idea
what your engine was performing like.
